Disable Active Setup with Mandatory Profile and UEV 2.x??

Question

Hi, I have been doing some research into UEV configuration with the use of mandatory profiles.  I'm wondering if Disabling Active setup is something we should do to increase the logon time?  if so what issues may I run into if I disable? what
is the process for disabling, is it just delete each registry entry or is there a global setting?

Not really an Ue-V question, but here goes..
Active setup is a tricky one.  In order to disable active setups you can find out what triggers the active setup to run or not run and incorporate those settings into your mandatory profile.  i.e.  whatever registry keys the active setup creates
when it runs.  If they are present, this should prevent the active setup from running.  Results can be mixed depending on what the active setup is doing.  Trial and error is required.
Depending on how the mandatory profile is configured, stored, accessed, etc it can greatly reduce login times.  If this is for some kind of RDSH environment without persistent profiles I would recommend avoiding any applications with active setup because
you can run into issues during times whenever everyone is logging in.  i.e. each morning.  There can only be so many msiexec.exe running on each box at any given time, so users get queued up waiting for an opening.  I recommend, if possible,
to repackage the applications that currently have an active setup in such a way that will remove the active setup.  If that isn't possible, stuffing the whatever information active setup writes into the mandatory profile may work.  Good luck.
